Ok, go to MyPyramid.gov ... please, and read it. This is the USDA's new food pyramid website. It made me laugh. I can't help but wonder if an undercover vegan is secretly writing all this stuff, to make it sound ridiculous.
For example,
Here is the Tip of the Week:
"Irradiated meat is just as healthy, if not healthier than organic meat -- radiation kills bacteria just as effectively as it does people, and saves billions of dollars that would otherwise have to go toward producing cleaner meat and maintaining the health of livestock."
hmm.. just as effectively as it does people huh? boy, I feel much better about eating it now. =D
oh, and those billions of dollars? saved by the company, not the consumer, lucky them!!^_^
and finally, I don't know about you, but cleaner meat and healthy cows doesn't sound too bad to me.

and I can NEVER discern humor from sarcasm in government (or politically correct) writing. I guess that's what makes it funny...

I think that the goverment has just given up. They realize taht people are catching onto them, and i'm thinking that they frankly don't care at all...because we can't do anything about it.
and high fructose corn syrup...a good thing? not in the sugars and fats category?
